I sawed a little walnut yard tree for a feller awhile back. I pulled some nice 12" wide boards from it that had a good curl figure. I was happy for him (and jealous at the same time).
After I milled the log I called him and told him it was done and I had good news it was special. I told him was curly. His response was "What's curly mean? and is that good?" I said yes. So he picks it up and hauls it home.
He called me a couple days ago and said he now wanted to kiln dried. He dropped it off when I was not home today and told my wife to mark the "diamond wood". My wife knowing wood terms as she does, had not heard of diamond wood. She said have you got some curly wood. He replied "No I think he said diamond or something like that" I want to sort that out and sell it on ebay:glare:.
OK, so the guy has no clue what he has. I wish I had it...but he thinks it's made of diamonds (at least gold) since I told him it was special. And he is going to "get rich" on ebay with about 100bft of yard tree :laughing:.
I guess I am just more jealous than anything. It is pretty wood, and if I had not told him different he would not know it from anything I chose to load on the trailer the day I sawed it.
I sanded a couple spots and wiped them with water before I threw them in the kiln with some of my own figured walnut. The picture is not great, but you get the idea.
